We are so glad you have decided to join us once again for our Cooking Light Virtual Supper Club. This is a monthly event where a group of ladies and one gent in two neighbouring countries get together on the first Wednesday of every month to create a delicious meal with a theme in mind. This is our third year of the Virtual Supper Club where we continue to share a love for Cooking Light magazine with an emphasis on healthy eating and living. This is a team effort where we combine what Cooking Light readers like best...good food with great company!! This month we are joined by two of the original members of the Virtual Supper Club... Helene of La Cuisine d'Helene and Shelby of The Life and Loves of a Grumpy's Honeybunch. Welcome ladies while we celebrate Canada's 145th birthday, a theme chosen by Jerry of Jerry's Thoughts Musings and Rants. If you would like to join us as a guest blogger for one month as we create a menu based on a theme from the pages of Cooking Light sometime in the upcoming year send us an e-mail.

To begin our celebration on July 1st, with our American friends in tow who today are celebrating July 4th, we started our meal off with an appetizer ofMarinated Mozzarella and Pepper Salad.You will find the recipe below. According to their website you can enjoy this as an appetizer or mix with your choice of leafy greens for a twist.This is one of those dishes that is perfect for ease of preparation on a hot summers day that can be prepared the day before and assembled moments before supper is on the table. The peppers are seared under the broiler in your oven but could just as easily be grilled on your barbecue.

My favourite flavours all in one bowl. Roasted red peppers are a daily must (almost) in the summer. YUM! And bocconcini - I love! I am going to try to learn how to make it!Wish you would join us! But, it is probably too much cheese for one gal!:)V

My blog More Than Burnt Toast has been my passion for almost 9 years and has evolved with me over time as I have gained confidence in the kitchen. Follow my travels through Italy and Greece one recipe at a time, upcoming cooking classes at local Okanagan wineries and restaurants, as well as daily experimentation in my own kitchen. Every day we should be excited about what we are eating even if it just means making use of a wonderful find at our local farmers market. I look forward to getting to know you.
